** ALBANIA [non]. 5800, UT Sun May 10 at 0235, Radio Tirana relay via
WRMI confirmed at new time, feature about Albanian history; but it`s
only UT Sun & Mon at 0230; good signal as usual here and the closing
IS at 0259 leads into a new WOR time too (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 7380, May 9 at 2207, RHC in undermodulated French, S9/+15, as
it should be for African service, ex-11880; 2341 recheck now the
English hour // 5040, back from slip/slop to Spanish stream yesterday.
Something`s not wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15230, May 9 at 2216, RHC in Brazuguese, ex-11700; while
15270 is in Spanish, distorted and echoey unlike // 11800. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** DENMARK [and non]. ``Wolfgang Bueschel - may I then suggest that
you refrain from putting forward your personal opinions on music and
other content being broadcast on various SW stations. Why not just
report times, frequency and content without any prejudice!?

I am sure that there are many DXers around that appreciate your work.
Please don't be an idiot such as Glenn Hauser, who hardly cannot say a
sentence without attacking his personal enemies (Cuba in particular)
Best 73s Stig Hartvig Nielsen``

Wolfie on a log of 5840 WMR had said ``pop mx what else``. SHN took
great offense to that. Wolfie replied, ``I never hate any music!``

Geez, Stig, I have gone out of my way to publicize your stations -- a
fine effort to put a country back on the SW map, and this is your
appreciation? Everyone is entitled to their opinions and to express
them. May your skin become thickened. You might not be so happy about
a country like Cuba if they jammed your broadcasts! I have treated you
fairly. But I shall try to avoid reporting your stations in future,
unless perhaps someone have something critical to say about them. Was
going to mention Kuhl`s correxion on next WOR, but why should I?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** IRAN. 6160, May 10 at 0101, no WBCQ tonight, just Qur`an for the
Turx from PARS/IRIB/VOIRI, to the end of Ramadan in another biweek
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NETHERLANDS [non]. 9925, UT Sun May 10 at 0103, S5-S8 of rock music
from The Mighty Farty KBC, as its second outing this year on 9925 via
GERMANY is failing, fading down to JBA by 0123. I suppose they are too
inflexible to move to 7 MHz until and unless the MUF perk up to 10 MHz
this summer? Since this is for North America anyway, why won`t Eric
put it on WRMI? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NICARAGUA [non?]. 8989-USB, Sat May 9 at 2208, S4 in Spanish song
sounds gospel, the Pescador Predicador indeed back. It would be nice
to have some background about who and where he is, licensed or not?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6955-USB, May 10 at 0100, soul music at S9, but poor
timing when my listening priority is `Encore` on 5850 WRMI. Many2 logs
here with SSTV pix say it`s Wolverine Radio between 0031 and 0204:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,66874.0.html
Skipmunk says the song at 0100 was ``There Goes My Baby`` by the
Drifters; yes, theme tonight is Baby (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SCOTLAND [non]. 5850 VG // >> 5010, UT Sun May 10 at 0100, `Encore`
another great hour of classical music via WRMI prevents me from
listening to The Mighty KBC, Wolverine Radio, the Lumpy Gravy Radio
Show or Shortwave Saturday Night --- why does everyone gang up on
Saturday night? At least Encore has an alternative, UT Monday 0200 on
WRMI 9455 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, May 9 at 2204, VOT is on today, no RTTY, still in
opening news? but just too poor at S5-S8. This is what becomes of 500?
kW over a 10-megameter path (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2033 monitoring: Ivo Ivanov, Bulgaria

** U S A. 7490+, May 9 at 2203, S7-S2 of dead air from WBCQ. Still on
the Saturday schedule for 100 minutes from 2200 is `Good Sounding
Oldies` --- can`t say I`ve ever heard it and not now either (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5130, UT Sun May 10 at 0101, rock music presumably `Lumpy
Gravy` on WBCQ; and 7490+ Valkyries theme opening `Shortwave Saturday
Night` on the other WBCQ, but for rest of hour I am drawn to the
bigsig of classical from `Encore` on 5850 WRMI. Why does everyone gang
up on Saturday night at the same time? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5085, UT Sun May 10 about 0030, WTWW-2 finally switches from
hamgab to TONITO. This signal is strong enough to be audible on my
portable next to noisy equipment, but at best there is annoying
selective fading distortion on the organ music; and it`s inconvenient
for me to switch to the stereo webcast, tsk (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 0421 UT May 10

** CANADA. 2749-USB, May 9 at 0606-0609*, Canadian Coast Guard,
Nova-Scotia-area frequency, *two* roboYL in French, sound alike but
unseem duplicative or echo, equal levels until both stop at 0609 after
``terminé``. I am now thinking this be a malfunxion out of a single
transmitter rather than two clashing:
Yarmouth/Halifax/Sydney/Escoumins, none of which are scheduled on air
at this hour per http://dxinfocentre.com/mb.htm (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CHINA. 15165, May 9 at 1359 ``Jump`` song, Chinese briefly,
timesignal and off, CNR1 jammer against VOA Mandarin via Thailand,
this hour only.

15110, May 9 at 1401, Chinese, CNR1 jammer vs VOA Mandarin via
Philippines, this hour only.

These encourage me to keep tuning downwards thru WOOB areas for more
of them:

13130, May 9 at 1403, CNR1 jammer // 15110, but here against Sound of
Hope.

13070, May 9 at 1405, open carrier with flutter, similar signal to
13130 but no modulation, just as the upper goes off. 13070 also SOH.

11170, May 9 at 1417, CNR1 jammer vs SOH.

11150, May 9 at 1418, CNR1 jammer vs SOH; altho Aoki/NDXC shows this
one stops at 1000, unlike EiBi.

I keep tuning WOOB down to 8 MHz but none further heard. But one more
later:

11675, May 9 at 1520, Chinese dialog, CNR1 jammer vs RFA Mandarin via
Saipan (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** COLOMBIA. 2940.133, May 9 at 0610, JBA carrier detected for the
record, despite heavy storms in the RGV and Louisiana coast, presumed
HJNT, Radio Huellas, Cali, 2 x 1470.0665, South America`s most
reliable MW harmonic (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 7380, May 8 at 2301, RHC in Spanish instead of English, which
is heard only on 5040, not 11880 which 7380 replaced a few days ago.
Spanish frequency announcement, partial? of 11850 and 6000: 11850 is
also wrong, having moved onto Romania`s 11800. 7380 still in Spanish
at 2321. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11670, May 9 at 0123, RHC S9+20 of dead air, then suptorted
modulation, cutting in and out. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11880, May 9 at 1409, no signal from CRI Plus relay in
English; oops, recheck at 1521, now it`s on, S9+20 but undermodulated;
something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13700, May 9 at 1518, dead air of S9+20 from RHC. But no
spurblobs today.

13740, May 9 at 1518, almost dead air of S9, but JBM of RHC; long
after both are supposed to quit. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ROMANIA [and non]. 11800, May 8 at 2302, RRI starts the Spanish
hour atop RHC, but is losing out by 2309 to RHC // 7380 instead of
English (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, May 8 at 2237 check, VOT makes it on today, poor-fair
music; 2249 CV precaution PSA; 2251 multi-lingual ID filler; 2253
sign-off as if the 1230 on 15450, IS until 2256*, off just in time to
avoid fantastical German lead-in. Something`s always awry at Ankara
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 2097.3-CW, May 9 at 0613, single-letter beacon A, every 10
seconds audible vs high noise level, anywhere but Quartzsite AZ (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2033 monitoring: confirmed first
WRMI broadcast, Friday May 8 at 2200 on 9955 --- checking via remotes
instead of here: very heavy pulse jamming at Brasil, Trinidad;
Colombia SDRs gone; somewhat audible vs jamming at Bonaire, Dominican
Republic, Maine. However, good at Alexandria VA, little or no jamming
until fading down by 2225.

Also confirmed UT Saturday May 9 at 0130 here on WRMIs: 5850 VG
S9+20/30 despite omitted from new WRTH A-20 update, among other
errors; also 5010 S9+10/20 slightly better than 7780 S9/+10, both
noisy.

Also confirmed Saturday May 9 at 1323 the 1300 on WRMI 15770, poor

** U S A. 7490, UT Sat May 9 from 0000, WBCQ with `Allan & Angela
Wiener Worldwide` --- John Carver reports:

``Tonight's show started on time on 7490. Music on 5130 and no signal
on 6160. Program came up on 5130 at 0002 but still no signal on 6160.
Allan and Angela in the studio but it is a repeat of last week's show
as Allan removes his shirt because of the heat and then they talk
about May Day. John Mid-North Indiana``

Yes, I also heard the first few minutes when it became obviously a
repeat from last week. You were right, it was Allan who took off his
shirt, not Angela; wishful thinking? He always introduces her as
``gorgeous``. See for yourself on a number of twits such as:

UNIDENTIFIED. 9875+, May 9 at 0129, algo S6-S9, JBM. Nothing listed at

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 12535-USB, May 9 at 1407, 2-way in Spanish, laughing,
one stronger than the other. Maybe legit, as was ship station channel
117 as of Klingenfuss 2002 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 1920 UT May 9

** CUBA. 15140, May 8 at 1859-1910+, no signal from RHC English, as I

UNIDENTIFIED. 17725.080, May 8 at 1854, JBA carrier, presumably one of
those off-frequency sites --- but none listed in Aoki/NDXC or EiBi or
HFCC. Since it is fading, suspect it be real rather than receiver
birdie. Would be OSOB if not for 17530 trace of Grimesland (Glenn

Note: I had no further loggings the UT day May 7 after WOR at 0100;

This report dispatched at 2201 UT May 8

** CUBA [and non]. 7380, May 6 at 2300, RHC English still here, not
11880.

11800, May 6 at 2312 RHC Spanish still colliding with and atop RRI
Spanish from Romania; its // 11990 in clear while 11700 remains
vacant.

13740, May 6 at 2315, this RHC is off, so no spurs either; 13650 CRI
distorted music relay instead of Portuguese is on.

15730, May 6 at 2316, RHC Kriyol is VP S9 and suppressed/distorted
modulation; 15230 also on with Spanish, amounting to the SSOB and OSOB
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NICARAGUA [non?]. 8989-USB, May 6 2309, JBA talk, seems like speech
rather than 2-way, can`t even be sure it`s Spanish, but it looks like
the fisher-preacher may have resumed (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2032 monitoring: confirmed Wed May 6 at 2122

** ALASKA. 9580, May 6 at 1452, KNLS is again on correct frequency
instead of 9695, S5-S7 ID as ``Your New Life Station``, P O Box
address in Anchor Point (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ALGERIA [non]. 13820, May 6 at 1753, via UTwente I am standing by
for RTA/TDA relay via FRANCE to start, meanwhile nothing but band
noise on frequency. Issoudun does cut on a few seconds before *1800
and at exactly the same time the beepery, so it does surely seem to be
defect of own transmitter, not jamming from somewhere else. The
relative level of beepery continues same thruout hour as I keep
listening. Altho the Qur`an Service, it`s far from total recitations;
first news in French, then a lot of talk in Arabic, various music
mixed with recitations.

That`s the only frequency for the first hour, but at 1900 I find the
beepery has switched to 11985; while the second frequency 12060 is
free of it. Both go off at 1957. *2000 next pair come on, 9655 beeped,
9510 clear, immediately into nothing but Qur`an.

If this self-QRM has been going on for years, it`s strange that so few
random logs by others mention it. Maybe worse now? Or people just have
ignored it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 711.00, May 6 at 0205, off-frequency het upon legit
710 stations such as KCMO; even stronger at 0222. Also a beat of about
3 Hz between two off-frequency 1 kHz het signals when tuned to
710-USB; At 0225, I isolate 711 as much as possible and attempt to
hear any modulation to match Radio Rebelde on 5025; JBA but not 100%
positive.

711 still there at 0601, vs Mexican NA in the 710 mix. At this time
there are no TA 9-kHz signals on the lower half of band; one JBA
carrier on 846, presumed from night-path Kiritimati.

Steven Wiseblood, Harlingen TX in the RGV, replied April 21-22:
``2-3 weeks ago Rebelde was measured at 710.5 kHz. As of April 15th
they have returned to nominal 710.00 kHz. When they were off frequency
they were producing a MASSIVE HET agaisnt semi-local 710 KURV
Edinburg.

I seem to remember a few years ago Rebelde was on 711 for a few days,
and were easily strong enough to be separable from 710. This time I
measured the audio beat to 710 kHz. At least on one early morning I
measured the audio beat from Rebelde at 510 Hz.``

However, I, gh, never caught anything around 710.51. Remember, there
are SEVEN Rebelde transmitters on 710 per WRTH 2020 page 172, ranging
from 200 to 1 kW, plus a Radio Guamá 10 kW in Pinar del Río. We really
can`t tell which two are on 711, and it`s definitely not right to say
``Radio Rebelde on 711 instead of 710`` as if there were only one of
them. DXers in FL might be able to sort this out; except for QRM from
``wacky`` WAQI 50 kW Miami, which is why all these CMBAs converged on
710 in the first place. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba. Ask
Arnie? Ha3 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, Tue May 5 at 1934-1941, RHC English with `DXers
Unlimited` over this variable span. Hard to follow; I think he was
mainly talking about ham QRP operation; distorted, but less so this
time than French on 15370. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13700, May 6 at 1350, no spurblobs from RHC today but 13700
itself is splattery. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11880, May 6 at 1448 check, CRI Plus English relay is gone
again after resuming yesterday after two days gone. Something`s always
wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO [and non]. 6185, May 6 at 0617, XEPPM fair modulation,
enough to tell that it`s the finale of Beethoven`s Ninth, but played
on keyboard, with a bit of choral; 0620 segué to Pomp & Circumstance.
They used to have a detailed playlist but now can`t even find a
program grid schedule at
https://radioeducacion.edu.mx/

QRM from irregular tones of same pitch; not clear whether own
transmitter defect or QRM. RHC on 6145 is intoning about plus/minus 4
kHz at music peaks, and so are 6100 & 6060, so a defect in their
program feed, maybe multiplied (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** PHILIPPINES. After several weeks off, VOP is reported resumed by
Jose Jacob to the WOR iogroup May 5: ``Message is received from Radyo
Pilipinas that they are back on air from 1 May 2020. - Thanking you,
Yours sincerely, Jose Jacob, VU2JOS``

Alan Holder, Isle of Wight: ``Great to hear this good news. I tuned in
yesterday (May 5) at 1730 and heard them as follows:
9960 – poor signal strength, noisy, but in the clear;
12120 – fair signal – clear – but with atmospheric noise;
15190 – no propagation to the U.K. currently.
The broadcast opened with many public information ads on Covid-19.
A shame they do not have a mixture of Filipino and English on both the
0200 and 1730 releases. Alan Holder, Isle of Wight, U.K.``

However, no signals detected on any of the three frequencies scheduled
at 0200-0330, when I tried at 0305-0310 UT May 6 remotes in Vietnam,
India, Philippines, China, New Zealand. All are generally beamed
westward. 12010, 15640, 17820

But Ron Howard replies, ``Hi Glenn, Listening May 6, at 0238 UT, on
15640; was clearly in English, but not very readable; on 12010 and
17820, only had a carrier, with no audio. At least they are back on
the air again! Ron California``.

America; possibly came on late, unrechecked (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 366-MCW kHz, May 6 at 0609 UT, ND beacon EGK(?) I`m certain
of the last letter but not the middle one. Best fit at
dxinfocentre.com is EOK, 25 watts in Keokuk, Iowa. Only thing unusual
vs spring noise level (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [non?]. 9885, May 6 at 0616, VP signal in French? VOA
Grimesland has been scheduled here M-F at 0600-0630, but wondering if
they would keep it with no OCB or anything else to diffuse overnight.
HFCC as of May 5 shows it still GB for the rest of A20. The previous
semihour is via Woofferton and could probably be extended from that or
some other site. This time of night, prop even from NC on this band
could be this poor (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2032 monitoring: next and last:
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE

WOR 2033 should be ready early UT Friday May 8, first US SWBC Friday
at 2200 on WRMI 9955.

** U S A. 7490.12v, May 5 at 2053, checking WBCQ direct just before
the heavily publicized `Big Broadcast of 2020`. Yep, VP S4-S5 in
daytime noise level, so useless. Instead I listen to the entire hour
via webcast 2100-2200, and enjoy presentations of several different
music shows; some of it even sounds $ tereophonic. 7490 reception is
just as bad toward the end recheck at 2157. Now if they can put it on
after dark, everyone will have a better chance to hear it on SW.
Meanwhile the 500 kW remains dedicated to flatearthism on 9330 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
